Celebs With A “Type”
Victoria's Secret Angels, American footballers, even men named Ryan, these celebrities just can't help falling for the same type of person. Read on and see how many of these you spotted.

Getty ImagesTaylor Swift: Brit boys
Taylor Swift shocked us with the news that she's been secretly dating another Brit boy. This time around her beau, Joe Alwyn, is much younger and not nearly as known as Tom Hiddleston. Meaning it was easier for her to stay away from the limelight and keep this relationship under the wraps (we'll miss the holiday PDA pics and romantic tees though).
Getty Images / REX FeaturesThe Weeknd: Hot brunettes
Can you blame him? Just look at the gorgeous girls The Weeknd has dated - twinning in red. The Weeknd, real name Abel, and Bella Hadid split in November 2015, after dating for two years. And now he's with another hot brunette, Selena Gomez, and things are definitely hotting-up.
Getty ImagesKhloe Kardashian: Basketball players
It's a fact: Khloe Kardashian has got a thing for basketball players.
The 32-year-old reality TV star is apparently spending a lot of time with 25-year-old Cleveland Cavaliers player, Tristan Thompson, leading to speculation that they have started dating. This follows her divorce from Lakers star Lamar Odom.
Rex/GettyPerrie Edwards: Tall, dark and handsome...
Perrie Edwards was spotted looking cosy with Skins actor Luke Pasqualino earlier in August, and the singer has since confirmed that they're dating. The actor, who has Italian parents, is tall, dark and handsome, a bit like Perrie's ex Zayn Malik. We can't help thinking she has a type... Even more weirdly, Zayn revealed in an interview back in 2012 that Luke is the actor he'd like to play him in a movie. Now that could be awks.
Rex FeaturesGigi Hadid: Edgy popstars
Does Gigi Hadid have a type? We think so... Has anyone else noticed Joe Jonas's recent edgy look? He's switched it up so much that we actually mistook him for his ex-girlfriend Gigi's current beau, Zayn Malik, in this photo. Look: there's the bleached quiffs, casual-cool style, and those dark brown eyes. Both boys are also singers. Yep. It's official.
Getty ImagesLeonardo DiCaprio: Leggy Blondes
If you’re tall and fair, you’ve got a pretty good chance when it comes to wooing Leonardo DiCaprio. The actor, who just refuses to settle down, has dated the likes of Gisele Bundchen, Bar Refaeli and is currently with Kelly Rohrbach, who at 5ft 9in is 100% his kinda gal.
Getty ImagesAdam Levine: Victoria’s Secret Angels
Adam Levine loves a Victoria’s Secret Angel. The Maroon 5 singer was with Russian model Anne Vyalitsyna for two years before dating her fellow angel Behati Prinsloo in 2012. He obviously knows when he’s found a match made in Heaven and the couple married in 2014.
Getty ImagesJennifer Lopez: Dancers
It’s not just the men who have a “type”; Jennifer Lopez looks for a man with moves in her partner. She’s fallen for two dancers in the past: Cris Judd, who she married in 2001 and Casper Smart, who she’s enjoyed an on-off romance with since 2011.
Getty Images/Rex FeaturesMadonna: Toy Boys
Madonna isn’t an easy one to pin down as she’d dated some of Hollywood’s most famous men (Sean Penn and Warren Beatty, we’re looking at you). Most recently though, she seems to be drawn to younger men. She romanced dancer Jesus Luz who was 22 when she was 50; and is currently with Timor Steffens who is 30 years younger.
Getty ImagesJessica Simpson: American Footballers
Jessica Simpson loves an American footballer. Following her high profile split with Nick Lachey, the singer turned her attention to the football field, dating Tony Romo for two years before she married Eric Johnson, a retired NFL player.
Getty ImagesJennifer Lawrence: Brit Boys
British boys, you’re in luck... Jennifer Lawrence can’t seem to resist you! We don’t know if it’s the accent or the self-deprecating sense of humour but the actress certainly has a soft spot for our boys and counts Nicholas Hoult and Chris Martin among her exes.
Getty ImagesKate Moss: Edgy Musicians
We can’t see Kate Moss with anyone other than an edgy, leather-clad singer. Pretty boys just aren’t Kate’s bag; she likes her men with a bit of flavour and a musical ear: Jamie Hince and Pete Doherty, case in point.
Getty ImagesMiley Cyrus: The Boy Next Door
Despite her penchant for swinging on wrecking balls and saucy twerking, Miley Cyrus chooses “safe” boys when it comes to her personal life. Liam Hemsworth and Patrick Schwarzenegger are both your classic all-American boy-next-doors.
Getty Images/Rex FeaturesBlake Lively: Pretty Ryans
Blake Lively loves a pretty Ryan. The actress had a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it romance with Ryan Gosling after they were spotted “devouring” each other at a Blue Valentine after-party in 2010. But it wasn’t long until Blake found the Ryan she was meant to be with: she hooked up with Ryan Reynolds the year after.
Rex FeaturesRyan Reynolds: Blonde Bombshells
But then Ryan Reynolds isn’t averse to a “type” himself. He married stunning blonde Scarlett Johansson in 2008 before switching his attention to Gossip Girl Blake Lively in 2011.
Getty ImagesKate Hudson: Rockers
Kate Hudson is “with the band” or at least her boyfriend is. The actress married The Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson in 2000 before they split in 2006, but she found love again with Muses’ Matt Bellamy, to whom she was engaged to until December 2014.
